Cleveland Indians shortstop and outfielder Amed Rosario went 3-for-5 with a triple, three runs scored, and one RBI in Tuesday night's 10-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Rhys Hoskins Takes Another 0-for-5 Versus Braves

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Braves on Tuesday. It was the second-straight 0-for-5 game for Hoskins after he put together a 12-game hit-streak.

Dinelson Lamet Falls Apart Late

San Diego Padres starter Dinelson Lamet surrendered four earned runs in five-plus innings Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs.

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Rob Refsnyder went 2-for-3 with an RBI double in Tuesday's loss to the New York Yankees.

Taylor Rogers Saddled With Third Loss

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers had a rough outing in Tuesday's loss to the New York Yankees. Rogers allowed two runs on three hits in his one inning of work.

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt had an encouraging first game back from the injured list in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Rangers. Belt went 3-for-4 with three singles and a walk.

Joey Gallo Exited Early On Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (groin) was forced to exit early during Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was removed due to groin tightness during the eighth inning.

DJ LeMahieu Ends Extra-Base Hit Drought

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu went 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Minnesota Twins.

Scott Alexander Could Be Out Until July

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Scott Alexander (shoulder) could very well miss another month of action. The lefty reliever has been sidelined since early May due to inflammation in his shoulder.

Sonny Gray To Undergo MRI Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (groin) was removed early during his start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday.

How to Approach Hitters With Offseason Mechanical Adjustments

Fantasy baseball is inherently reactive. As proactive as fantasy managers try to be in terms of projecting player performance, there is always an information gap between what MLB players are doing (and plan to do in the future) and the publicly available information that fantasy managers leverage. In no aspect of the game is the […]
